Windfall

Talk story about Village sculptors carrying off with slabs of marble, granite, and bluestone, found in the old buildings torn down to make room for the N. Y. U.'s Law School. Visit to the studio of Nora Herz, a sculptor who lives on Sullivan Street, who had salvaged three large chunks of Georgia and Vermont marble. She was already at work, hewing a duck out of one of them. One piece suggested to her an Abu Markub, a heron on the White Nile, and the other either a reclining nude or a rabbit. Miss Herz said that if Marble House, corner of 8th St. & Fifth Avenue, is ever torn down, every sculptor in the city will carry away the marble as fast the wreckers can knock it off the walls
